Surprised to hear this from any member on here. The more accessible stuff like Swedish Melodic or the American/Floridian variety? I have a passing interest in death metal as well. Mostly Old School stuff, some more "mainstream" melodic bands.

Old School American stuff is good; although I prefer the ones with some semblance of musical talent. I was a big Nightwish fan for years, along with Iced Earth and Opeth so my tastes run the gamut. If I hear something and like it...I like it, regardless of its genre
